The Perfect Summer Dog Accessories: Fresh Colours, Handmade Style
Every Green Dog collar and lead is made to order. Summer means new colour combinations across the full range, fresh brights, earthy tones and muted pastels. Fully customisable by material, hardware and your dog's exact measurement. Made in Oxfordshire, typically delivered within 2-6 working days.
There is something about the warmer months that makes every walk feel that bit more special. Whether it is early morning strolls before the heat builds or golden-hour adventures across the Oxfordshire countryside, summer is the right time to refresh your dog's look with something custom, comfortable and built to last.
At Green Dog, I have added new summer colour combinations across the full range, handmade by me in Oxfordshire, delivered to your door within 2-6 working days.
Designed by you, crafted by me
Every collar and lead I make is part of a slow process, nothing mass-produced, nothing rushed. You choose the colours, hardware and materials. Whether you want something bold and summery or subtle and timeless, your design is completely your own. The new summer palette includes a fresh range of brights, earthy tones and muted pastels, giving you more ways to match your dog's style with your own.
Why handmade summer accessories make a difference
In a world of fast fashion and generic pet gear, handmade accessories are built differently. The materials are chosen because they perform, not because they photograph well. The hardware is solid brass, it does not tarnish or corrode in summer humidity. And because every piece is made to order, there is no shelf stock, no overproduction, no waste at the end of the season.
Freedom to move: the hands-free dog lead for summer
Summer walks are when the hands-free lead comes into its own. Both hands free for hiking poles, a coffee, or your phone camera. The adjustable rope hands-free lead and the Greenwich Yarn hands-free both wear around the waist or crossbody and adjust using a BioThane® slider. Both are available in the new summer colour range.
Waterproof for summer adventures
If your dog finds every puddle, stream or sea inlet, the BioThane® Fixie collar and BioThane® lead are the most practical choice. Fully waterproof, wipe-clean in seconds, available in every summer colour combination.

What are the best summer dog accessories in the UK?
For summer, waterproof BioThane® collars and leads are the most practical for water and muddy conditions. Lightweight rope and paracord collars are comfortable in warm weather. Hands-free leads are ideal for longer summer walks and hikes. At Green Dog, all options are available in fresh summer colour combinations.
Are handmade dog collars good for summer?
Yes, particularly BioThane® (waterproof and wipe-clean for summer adventures) and premium rope (lightweight, fast-drying, comfortable in warm weather). Both handle the increased outdoor activity of summer walking well, and come in vibrant colour combinations suitable for the season.
What is the best dog collar for hot weather?
Lightweight materials that allow airflow against the coat. Rope and paracord collars are soft and breathable. BioThane® is smooth and easy to clean after muddy or wet activities. Avoid thick nylon webbing collars in hot weather as they can become stiff and retain heat. A collar that is correctly fitted, not too snug, is also important in warm weather.
Can I get a summer dog accessory set from Green Dog?
Yes. You can configure a matching collar and lead set in any colour combination from the Green Dog range. Choose your preferred material, colours and hardware finish, and each piece is made to order together. Delivery is typically 2-6 working days from the Oxford studio.
